Starship es una banda de rock estadounidense conocida por su evolución musical y su capacidad de adaptarse a las cambiantes corrientes del rock a lo largo de las décadas. La historia de Starship comienza en la ciudad de San Francisco y remonta sus raíces a la formación de otra influyente banda de rock, Jefferson Airplane, en 1965. Jefferson Airplane alcanzó reconocimiento mundial en la década de 1960 con temas como “Somebody to Love” y “White Rabbit”.
En la década de 1970, los miembros originales de Jefferson Airplane decidieron explorar nuevas direcciones musicales y, como resultado, la banda se reestructuró, adoptando el nombre Jefferson Starship. Esta transición vino con un giro hacia un sonido más orientado al rock y al pop. Durante esta etapa, la banda lanzó álbumes exitosos como “Dragon Fly” (1974) y “Red Octopus” (1975), que incluyó el hit “Miracles”.
En 1984, nuevas vueltas del destino llevaron a una transformación más profunda de la banda. Originalmente liderada por el guitarrista Paul Kantner, la agrupación vio su partida, junto con la retirada de varios miembros fundadores. Bajo el liderazgo del vocalista Mickey Thomas y el tecladista David Freiberg, la banda optó por un cambio más radical en su estilo y nombre, pasando a llamarse simplemente Starship.
